Rembrandt and Friends from the Frick NYC
To celebrate the 200 yr anniversary of the Mauritshuis a delegation of the American Friends of the Mauritshuis paid a unique visit to the Netherlands in early October.
One of the highlights was the group’s visit to the very special ‘Manhattan Masters’ exhibition at the Mauritshuis, featuring ten paintings by Dutch masters from The Frick Collection in New York. This is a one-time opportunity to view this selection of paintings in Europe, which (with one exception) left the continent more than a hundred years ago and have been in the United States ever since. One of the paintings that has temporarily exchanged New York for The Hague is Rembrandt’s acclaimed Self-portrait of 1658. Rembrandt painted many self-portraits, but this one is acknowledged by experts to be one of the most impressive of all.
The American Friends of the Mauritshuis is very proud to be one of the exhibition partners. The Manhattan Masters exhibition runs until 15 January 2023; if you are in the Netherlands, don’t miss out on this unique opportunity.
